Evaluate multi-step numerical expressions using order of operations, including grouping symbols and exponents.
Convert a solution plan into an expression
Problem
Write a numerical expression for this plan, then evaluate it: Add \(6\) and \(2\), multiply the result by \(4\), and then subtract \(3\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The words describe a sequence of operations, so the expression must protect the first result for later use. We’ll group the initial sum, multiply that whole quantity by four, and place the final subtraction outside the product. Then evaluating in the same order will follow the stated plan exactly.
